Like many, the passing of Queen Elizabeth the Faithful has given me pause. The carefully planned and executed traditions of mourning and saying goodbye have presented a picture to the world of a people of dignity and respect. Indeed, more than once did I find my eyes welling with tears as I listened to testimony after testimony that expressed the heartfelt gratitude of the citizens of the United Kingdom.

And then I heard a phrase that not only gave me reason to reflect on a life well lived, but on what power can look like in a nation.
